you know what **** it you win, so lets say you are right in your… questionable opinion on what makes a cooldown a cooldown, if its a maximum of 6 seconds it really doesn’t compare to the 90+ second cooldowns in diablo 4, correct?
Which are pretty much industry standard at this point.
I think the cooldowns in D4 are just their kinda lazy way of making you a low level. i think at end game gear will have you pumping out all abilities with low to minimal CD
Bro D2 is super easy. I solo ubers on day 2 or 3 with a crap geared smiter. I also killed Uber D day 3 ladder with a trapsin and blizzard sorc who only had Edge bow to cancel regen.
mmm I’d just say you are a good player and understand what needs to be done. That’s part of making a game hard is having to learn it and know it. Of course we can do that stuff now after 20 years of breaking the game. Look at it on the lens of a new game that just got released and not knowing all the tricks. It’s hard
Do you need a resource generator? What if you spec into Essence regen via corpse consumption + Essence on minion hit? Ramp those up and ignore the mana builder if you like. Or not! There are many options to be had.
That’s the problem with calling something hard, there’s no one definition of it. Everyone considers hard to be something different.

so if i get access to a slow spell, an escape ability, a defensive/heal, my offensive spells would be nerfed because…???
if blizzard nerfed classes based on performance being “over the top” nobody would even play diablo, because the whole point of the game is to become an overpowered semi-immortal god that can kill everything in a thousand mile radius at the snap of a finger.
the journey to get to that point is whats fun, and that fun factor is being arbitrarily limited by only having access to a total of 6 abilities at any given time, and benefitting less from item bonuses.
And legendaries usually change that up as well, there’s more to diablo than skills, always has been

says who (20 chars))
Yeah but we are talking about games objectively… and to come out and call a 20 year old game easy simply because you know all the gamebreaking tricks and builds is a bit silly in a conversation like this
yes, and how many years of experience did you have in diablo prior to doing that?
you think any newbie can just walse in and do that?

…balance.
And don’t think they wouldn’t nerf the defensive or escape skills too.

funny you should mention that option, because that’s precisely how i semi-circumvented the problem of having skellies and golem take up 2/6 slots.
i skilled essence regen on corpse explosion cast which works quite decently.
that doesn’t mean i couldn’t make proper use of something like decompose (for example) for those rare instances where there’s no corpses available.
if i chose to go with essence regen on minion hit i would, again, have to sacrifice a “better” (or more fun) affix to get that.
my build was based on skelly reapers with cooldown reduction on hit in a combo with frost mages because its really strong. if i went with your suggestion that would be less fun and less effective, all because the game arbitrarily tells me “no you can have 6 and no more” like a mother chastising her child for asking for 7 jellybeans instead of the allowed 6.
Why not?
It allows me to kick back and use a controller. The massive management of more slots just annoys me. It allows me to focus on a particular build.
I’m not sure why we decided game UIs needed a billion quick slots.
Yeah I mean idk alot has been said but I just want to say when theres heroes in games like League and Dota that have more abilities than your ARPG main character, it’s a bit problematic. Like I said earlier, you can press more buttons in freaking fornite. We wanted diablo, not super smash brothers
As is calling D4 easy when you’ve only played the easy part (the start)
We don’t know how difficult it will be, you can’t compare ubers to a level 25 boss

“balance”???
balance to alleviate the “imbalance” for who?
WHO CARES BRO.
diablo is not a pvp game, i couldn’t care less how overpowered another player is, and few people do.
For the last 11 years diablo has had 6 abilities, whether you agree or not, this is diablo now.
